Dr. Eilber:
As far as surgery for stress incontinence, because it’s mostly done through the vaginal canal, patients are usually advised not to exercise or do any strenuous activity for about two weeks after surgery. If they also have their bladders lifted, then we usually have them restrict activities for about four weeks after surgery.
